I have recently started studying ceremonial magick, and everyone I talk to about it has told me it's dangerous, and that even Angels could possibly try to possess you or worse. Doesn't make any sense to me, so are these beings dangerous or are people just superstitious?
I would not let what people say stop you from your studies. When I first began in ceremonial magick, things got a bit hairy, but I believe that was my own insecurities. There is always danger involved with magick, but to me it's been worth the outcome. Blessed Be and may the Goddess light your way
Angels as i have known in and out of religious designs are more watchers and temperance to the keys ad door to the gateways as defined by the CM ceremonial arts of the reflective mirror and the 4 basic elemental tools, though demons as i know them aren't (malis) unless they are provoked and are way more ancient then most know, they aren't the arc-types created by the studies of the religious fall, (the daemon) or inner demon created from the journey conflict of will or desire to separate the will is the (in my understand) the ones..."that self possession and un-controlled possession happen in dabbling rituals of the psychic/empathic and ethereal chains of conscious being....such as voodou/shamanism alchemy, and various states of hypnotic awareness.... (the status of such is best judged by those who have "traveled that route") remember your talking division of will, or exchanges, these can be most well....enlightening....
add 3,000 words later and you got a glimmer.....(but that's my book)
When you call upon some. Others may hear and come forth. Keep forever in your mind that there is a evil side. You must know how to disspell it. Ceremonial can be very strong if done right. If not. Well I would not call them Angels. If you were to look in a Christians way. It would be more like Demons. I have seen much and felt much through out my time. Done right. To talk with the Goddesses and Gods. To have God and Goddess wisper to you. Visions, surges running through you as a dream. As God and Goddess, as all the Goddesses and Gods have gone by many names through out the land and water. Evil has to. The christians call him Satan and his many Demons. To see the evil side come forth. They have been feeding across the land and water growing stronger day by day. Some in this very group. In Pagan groups all over the net. Keep studying ceremonial.
